Victory Screen
| Situation | Quote | Audio |
|---|---|---|
| Generic | We will neither run nor hide. If you wish to fight us again, we will always be ready. | |
| You are a mighty warrior, worthy of a battle to the death. Had it not been for our encounter, you would have blossomed into a magnificent foe. | ||
| You've got some tricks, but you lack training -- and a keen mind needs a powerful body. As you stand, victory is far beyond your grasp. | ||
| Did I not make myself clear? Trickery is meaningless before my power! You've wasted my time... | ||
| Though our alliance was brief, it was quite enjoyable indeed. Should the opportunity arise, let us fight as one again! | ||
| Haaaaaahahahahaha! You’ve shown me your strength as a warrior! I thank the heavens for bringing us together. | ||
| Partner with Iron Tager | Tager: I fully understand the capacity of your strength, but you should consider brushing up on your tactics a little more. Not all battles can be won with brute force alone. Waldstein: Don't make me laugh. Little tricks and gambits are meaningless in the face of raw power. My claws will make short work of them. |
|
| Partner with Azrael | Azrael: I'm starving... You robbed me of my prey, and now I'm starving... You're going to pay for this, old warrior...! Waldstein: Disgraceful... Barking for food like a stray dog. Very well. I shall engrave the essence of strength into your body! |
|
| Partner with Susano'o | Susano'o: This was inevitable. You are all just roaches, crawling through the dirt before me. Waldstein: Unbelievable... I didn't intend to preach to a god today, but you've left me no choice. I must show you the joy of battle! |
|
| Partner with Jubei | Jubei: Ain't no point in focusin' just on strength or speed. Ya need technique to really make 'em sing. If ya only think size matters, then ya ain't gonna win. Waldstein: Pah, spoken like a true weakling. Strength is the essence of battle -- turn your back on it, and you will never know true power. |
|
| Partner with Chie Satonaka | Chie: So, what do you think, Gramps? It's kinda fun to play nice once in a while, right? Waldstein: I don't mind sparring from time to time. But who are you calling "Gramps"? ...It isn't me, is it? |
|
| Partner with Akihiko Sanada | Waldstein: This battle was truly thrilling! I am grateful to have met a warrior such as you. Akihiko: Heh. Well, we both share the desire to be our best, after all. Can't wait to train with you again. |
|
| Partner with Hyde | Hyde: What now, old man? Still wanna treat me like a kid? Waldstein: Don't make me laugh, boy. You're barely breaking out of your shell. Talk to me again when your arms are the size of your torso. |
|
| Partner with Linne | Waldstein: Princess... As I say daily...you must train your body! Power is the heart of combat, and it only resides within those who train! With those scrawny arms, you shall accomplish nothing! Linne: I refuse. Even I have a little self-respect. |
|
| Partner with Carmine | Waldstein: You are completely lacking in strength! A scrawny creature like you is not even worthy to stand on the battlefield! Train your body. Your BODY! Carmine: I don't need all that muscle. It'd just get in the way. But I can take a chunk of yours, though, if you insist. |
|
| Partner with Gordeau | Waldstein: Just as I thought, these people were unworthy to harvest. They're nothing but cowards, running rampant around the battlefield... How utterly unfortunate. Gordeau: Ah, relax. You'll get a ripe one one of these days. |
|
| Partner with Seth | Seth: You still wander the path of heresy, Hecatoncheir. One day I'll bring those wanderings to a perfect end. Waldstein: One day, you might. But now's not the time to ponder my fate. If you consider yourself a soldier, you should be indulging in the joy of battle. |
|
| Partner with Mika | Waldstein: It's simple: "Fighting is Power." That is the one and only truth you need know. Mika: Whoa! That's so deep! And so cool! Thanks, Teach! |
|
| Partner with Yang Xiao Long | Waldstein: Gwaahahahaha! Now THIS is a battlefield! An encounter with a powerful foe never fails to excite me. Yang: Well, I'm glad YOU'RE happy, at least. But geez, you could've given me some room to show off a little. |
